Argh! I soooo don't need an additional time-black hole.
But I must say, the game is very shiny.
Oh, and I'm the Yenzian Alliance, if you can find me. :-)

Very, very cool. It's doubly exciting for me, considering that they are
pretty much using the same technologies that I'm pushing at $workplace.
Seeing them making it work for the kind of scale required for MMORPGS
makes me even more... confident about the validity of my long-term
world-domination plans. :-)

Sounds like a cross between Texans and the Tusken (sp?) Raiders from
Star Wars. Not a very good sign for a peaceful civilization to trade
with. :-)
Joy,

Darn. I was in Toronto two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'll not be
able to return to the big T. for next week-end. Too bad...
But thanks for the broadcast. With a little luck, it'll draw the
attention of other peeps on the list.
Cheers (and best o' luck!),
